reoffend time about and time again. >> prop 36 would change the law to impose life sentences only if the new felony conviction or third strike is serious or violent. but criminals whose third strike was for nonserious or nonviolent sex or firearms or drugs. they could apply for a new sentence if their third strike was not serious or violent but a judge would have to decide if there's still a risk to the public. someone who commits a third strike that's not serious or violent but whose prior two strikes were more rape, murderer child molestation, would still face life in prison. he heads the project. he said three strikers are going to prison for life even for the most minor third offense. >> the small amount of people who have committed nonserious, nonviolent crimes who have never committed a heinous crime, the people who are in prison,

clogging up our prisons and creating overcrowding, that they will get the benefit of prop 36. >> i'm just a simple dad. and father of an 18-year-old girl who was murdered at the hands of two repeat offenders exactly 20 years ago this year. >> mike reynolds is a staunch supporter of the three strikes law. he testified against prop 36 at a recent legislative hearing. >> it's one of the most effective crime laws in california. secondly, it releases literally thousands of the most active serious and violent offenders back out on to our streets. >> sacramento sheriff scott jones also testified at the hearing. >> to accept prop session 36 is to accept and acknowledge that there will be new crime victims that otherwise wouldn't have been. >> san francisco's george is one of the few district attorneys in the state who openly support the measure. for him it's a question of fairness. >> someone arrested for a

low-level offense, such as shop lifting with prior convictions or minor drug possession can go to prison for 25 years to life. i think there is something completely disproportionate. >> there are currently about 9,000 third strikers in prison now. if the proposition becomes law, a legislative analyst said roughly 3,000 could apply for new sentences. vic lee, abc7 news. gov. jerry brown joins the california teachers association in san francisco this morning to launch a final push to pass proposition 30. it's also known as the governor's tax initiative would raise a state-wide sales tax to prevent billions of dollars in cuts to schools and colleges. the governor will held an 11:00 a.m. news conference with the teachers. that's in santa rosa and san jose. new this morning a coalition of labor unions fight to go keep kaiser's pediatric unit has
